Atobas.com.au does not provide any accounting or legal services as part of the Service. We do not, therefore, give or claim to give specific accounting, legal or financial advice. In the case we do provide advice, it is general in nature.
By using our online lodgement service, you warrant that the information you supply is, to the best of your knowledge, accurate and complete.
Neither we (nor any of our authorised representatives) will be liable for any charges or other damages arising in connection with any incorrect information provided by you.
This Site aims to provide you with clear and succinct information. However, if you misinterpret such information, we are not liable in any way for any such misinterpretation. Please contact us if you need to clarify something.
We endeavour to begin working on your BAS Lodgement application immediately after you have submitted it to us. For this purpose, you authorise us or our nominated representative to act as your registered BAS agent, and on your behalf, for lodging your BAS.
We will communicate with the ATO on your behalf using both electronic and telephone communications to process your application.
If we cannot arrange for your BAS to be lodged with the ATO immediately through our electronic system or, in the situation we are unable to lodge, refund your money. Occasionally, the ATO lodgement systems are down and not functioning, we will endeavour to process your lodgement as soon as this resolves. As this is out of our control, it falls out of any guarantee of lodgement within given timeframes, and will not make you eligible for a refund.
If your lodgement is rejected by the ATO it may be for any number of reasons. These may include (but are not limited to):
the information supplied does not match exactly with information the ATO has on record
the ATO has made a decision that you are not eligible to lodge a BAS, or
the ATO is experiencing system processing issues, such as systems downtime or maintenance.
If your BAS is rejected by the ATO, we will contact the ATO on your behalf and attempt to resolve any lodgement problems that may have arisen. We will then advise you of the reason that your lodgement has been rejected and offer possible solutions where it is practicable to do so. There may be additional costs due to further processing and we will advise you of these costs before moving ahead. If you decide to not move ahead with your lodgement, you will not be eligible for a refund.
We may provide a refund subject to the following:
the approved lodgement form is completed and submitted to us
in the event of a refund, a small admin fee of $15 is deducted from the amount paid
in the event of a refund ATOBAS will be discharged from any further liability
You have provided all the necessary ATOBAS information for the processing of your application and that the information is true and correct
The final decision to a refund is at the discretion of ATOBAS.
Only individuals who fulfill all the following criterias will be eligible to use our BAS Lodgement service:
